From
its appearance, this may be one of the oldest churches in Taxco. Located
on one side of Taxco's tiny park, Parque Guerrero, the church is almost
hidden behind the trees as you can see in the photo to the left below.
This park for some reason seems to be visited only by those coming from
villages near and far, a respite before their long journeys home perhaps.
Rarely will you see a Taxqueñan or foreigner enjoying its shady
quiet sitting on one of its many benches.

Capilla
San Nicholas is smaller than most of Taxco's other churches. Sadly, the
exterior is in very poor condition. As you can see in some of the photos
that follow, the church once had beautifully detailed architecture.

Upon entering
the church, you will see some of the images below, one of which perhaps
needs an explanation. The seventh photograph below was taken electronically
on the fly without aid of a flash which is not permitted in Taxco's churches.
The image that you are seeing is that of a box on the wall where there
are three naked people burning in the flames of hell.
